Beverly A. Cripps

Beverly A. Cripps, a beloved mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, passed away peacefully on September 2, 2025 surrounded by her family. 

Born December 4, 1946, in Doylestown, she was the daughter of the late Walter and Helen Bryan Miller.

She was known for her beautiful smile and the warm personality. A graduate of Central Bucks High School, she later worked at ICC/Reed Technologies and Invo Healthcare. She volunteered with Salem United Church of Christ, coordinating the altar flower arrangements and also at The Open Link in Pennsburg.

Beverly loved watching classic movies especially "The Wizard of Oz" which she passed down to her grandchildren. An enthusiastic sports fan, known for cheering on the Phillies, Eagles, and recently, much to her family's dismay, the KC Chiefs with her favorite jersey and quarterback.

She cherished time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren especially during family gatherings, watching movies together or baking. Almost all of them lucky enough to have a Christmas stocking she made.   She enjoyed working in her garden, bird watching and loved the beach, especially the yearly trips with the OBX crew.

Beverly is survived by her daughters: Denise Franklin, her husband, Marshall and Donna Keyser, and son, Richard Cripps, his wife Rowena.  She leaves behind a thriving legacy through her grandchildren: Rebecca (Jared), Jacob (Danielle), Rachel, Hannah, Lacey, Eunice (Jake), Erika and Giero; along with her great-grandchildren: Ophelia, Charlie, Iris, Harvey, and Rhett. She was preceded in death by her brother, Kenneth Miller.

Her kind spirit, unwavering support, and infectious joy will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.

Funeral service will be held at 11 a.m, Wednesday, September 10, 2025 at Salem United Church of Christ, 186 East Court Street, Doylestown, where the family will greet guests from 10 a.m. until the time of the service. Internment will follow in Whitemarsh Memorial Park, Ambler.
